Need help adding video to Imovie 4.0

I recently paid a company to convert a VHS tape of home movies to a DVD. I find that I can easily make copies of the DVD, but can't seem to bring it into IMovie. Is it possible to use portions of the DVD, or do I need special software or do I have to convert these files somehow? The files on the DVD have: .IFO, .VOB, and .BUP extensions, if that means anything.

* DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
* Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
* Cinematize >60$
* Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
* Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
* connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter

Need help adding video to a site

Hi Everyone:
I really need some help please. The owner of a site I am
working on sent me a DVD with video's he has taken and wants them
put on his site.
The files are VIDEO_TS and are MPEG files. How can I add the
video's to the site so that when I user clicks on the link, they
are able to either view the site or download the video to watch
later. I have other video's added to the site but I was able to
copy them and safe them the way there were added. The owner sells
products from the site I copied them from.
The site I am working on is www.buggyworld.net. Most of the
individual pages for the vehilces have videos on them and I am
trying to add these new ones the same way. I have never done this
before so really not sure how to. The videos that are already added
at Windows Media Audio/Video Files and that is how I would like to
convert this video to.
Any help would be so greatly appreciated.. thank you
Linda

Best bet would be to make Flash video so that everyone who
wants to (and has
the Flash Player plugin) can see them. Do you have Flash?

Need help adding music to Imovie.

I've been working on a slide show in Imovie and importing music I've purchased at Itunes. I find some of the songs need to be shortened to work with the amount of pictures I have. What I did was purchase a song at Itunes, burned this song to a CD, then saved it back to my hard disk to work on it in Jasmine- an audio editing program. I was told this was the way to do it in the Itunes discussion group. When I save it out of Jasmine after shortening it, I saved it as an AIFF file. I then tried to bring it into Imovie, but the program doesn't seem to allow me to do it. Am I going about this all wrong? Is the a simpler way to do this?
Dick Skover

Hi!
Jasmine- an audio editing program. I was told this was the way to do it in the Itunes discussion group.
I am sure that everyone in the itunes discussion group gives very good advice. However, have you tried simply importing the burned song to imovie and
i then
editing it by splitting and deleting or by direct trimming?

Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
As you can see, I'm low tech!
Good luck!

Need help with videos!!! Please

i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
For Videos:
So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
Resetting iPod
Restore the iPod
For Purchased Music Skipping:
Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
If they don't, try this...
Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
Play the song in that username to authorize it.
Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

Need help fixing video playback on iTunes and worried it will affect iphone

First of all, the black levels when playing videos on iTunes looked terrible.
I looked all over on how to fix this..
So then I installed the lastest nvidia graphics drivers to help with video playback
After install my videos black level was definatly better, I think.
But now all videos play wierdly in the corner of the itunes program..
http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/8170/ituneshelp.png
I need help to fix this and I hope this dont affect playback on iphone 4

If exporting to i4 results in the same, there could be a problem with the movie itself. Try exporting to the i4 and replay the video. However if exporting to i4 plays okay on the phone, it's your Nvidia drivers. You can download the prior Nvidia drivers and downgrade.
There have been dozens of cases where Nvidia drivers even the newest ones have made a mess of games, movie playbacks, even viewing Windows programs.

I need help with videos?

I need help. I have a video in my library AND iPod. The problem is - the video PLAYS when I click it on iTunes, but when I try to play it on my video iPod, all it does is let me hear what they're saying, it doesn't show the video. Can somebody help me?

Hey, what is the link to downloading Videora? Ivé tried downloading it but it doesn't work. The program does not open after installing it. I get some sort of error message. I clicked on the Full Install one when downloading it.

I have a godaddy website with a welcome page- I need help adding a few additional pages with a hyperlink to my welcome page.

I need help attaching a few hyperlinks my godaddy welcome page. I have 2 more ipages articles, I also converted them to pdf. Godaddy only helped (last year) with the 1st article. I do not know how to attach a hyperlink to the artlcles and add the hyperlinks to my welcome page.

The program is called Pages not iPages. Just let us know if you do not speak English and what language you do speak so we can adjust for that.
The issues are to do with your web page not with Pages.
I think you are asking how to link from your web page to your pdf articles. You must first copy those pdfs to your web server, or some other web location, and then provide html links on your welcome page to those pdf files.
The pdfs themselves may contain links to other locations but I can not see that that is what you are asking for.
Nor to what those links would be to.
From your heading I think you may have confused the name of Pages, the word processing program, with web pages which are two different things.

Need help exporting video

(I have Premiere Pro CS4 and I'm pretty new to it)
All my videos are 640 by 480 AVI files and the frame rate is 30fps. What are the best settings to export these videos at?
For some reason when I set the dimensions at the beginning to 640 to 480, and then I set the Pixel Aspect Ratio to "Square Pixels" because that is the only setting that will give me a 4:3 ratio, which is what I need since the videos are 640 by 480. But when I go to 'Export', the dimensions have been changed to 720 by 480, and I can't change the settings. What should I do? (I'm trying to save them as AVI)

Can you give us the full details of these AVI files. If you do not have that, the great, free utility, G-SPOT will give it to you.
You will want to set your Project/Sequence to that. If necessary, choose Desktop for the Preset and then fill in all of the attributes to match your source footage.
What do you wish to Export to?
What is your delivery scheme?
That will determine your Export settings in AME. You will need to choose a Preset that matches that. You have probably chosen a DV Preset.
Good luck,
Hunt

Need Help Converting Video

Hello - I have a couple of separate questions that I need help with. I know basic FCP. I have FCP7. I recently shot a wedding with 2 different cameras. Both are HiDef Cameras. 1 Camera is a Prosumer Camera where the files were taking off the camera and imported by Final Cut. The second is a new, home camcorder which saved the files into a hard drive in MPEG 4 format.
I need to marry the two. I can import the all the files (from both cameras) directly into the timeline. But the ones from the camcorder (the mpeg4s) seem to have that "hitchy" feel to them when I play them back. Also, both types of files (even the ones that were directly imported into Final Cut from the Prosumer Camera) have the "render" lines when they are in the timeline, so I constantly have to render which takes forever.
The files that were imported directly into FCP from the ProSumer camera were imported on a different computer with a different version of FCP, so when I drag them into my timeline it tells me that they were from a different version and asks me if I want to update for my version. If I click YES then it stretches the files from 16:9 to 4:3. If I say NO then it keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio, but adds yet another layer of render I need to do.
Normally I do simple, Standard Def edits where I import things into the timeline via FCP7 with firewire from a deck and edit directly from there, then firewire back to the deck. Simple - no rendering, etc. My questions are as follows:
1 - Do I need to reset my timeline settings because I am now working with HiDef? Or does FCP automatically know that it is HD and it doesnt matter how I drag it into the timeline?
2 - Do I need to convert the MPEG 4 files to quicktime format, or does it not make a difference
3 - When I export, what settings would I use to keep it in HiDef. I am only going to make DVDs with it.
4 - Is there a way to do it so that I do not have to render constantly while editing
5 - To view, I am firewiring out to a deck which is then going into a Standard Def monitor. Is that the reason the footage appears "hitchy"?
Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have any help, please drop me a note at [email protected]
Thanks

YOu need to learn how to use FCP. Sorry, no offense needed, and I know it sounds harsh. But from reading that I can tell you have no idea about how to properly import tapeless media into FCP...and don't know what formats FCP works with...nor know what formats the cameras record. This is all basic stuff you need to know before you edit. Editing isn't only creative, but lately highly technical as well...you need to know what your software is capable of doing, and how to get the footage into it properly.
You cannot do what you did...directly drag from the cameras into FCP. No...it needs to be imported, typically with LOG AND TRANSFER...and converted from the shooting format, which typically isn't natively editable in FCP (want native, use Adobe Premiere...). It needs to be converted to ProRes. And yes, the file sizes of ProRes are a LOT bigger than the camera originals. 4-5 times larger. That's how FCP works.
Here's a quick tutorial to get you started. But then I suggest getting to know the editing system better.
